Have any of you experienced the following? You're an adult with a college degree - or on your way to one - and a good job that you're successful at; you have a healthy lifestyle and the respect of your peers. But your family still sees you as the snotty 10-year-old who has to be reminded to change your underwear and thinks it's funny to belch the alphabet at dinner.
It is interesting to note that two recent letter writers have forgotten one important fact: the state of Israel's right to defend itself.
Water is life; it is the universal blood of all of us. It would be nice if this concept could open and end all debates, conferences and classes on water-related issues so that we all recognize and celebrate our universal relationship with water.
George W. Bush wants to put the noose around Saddam Hussein. Ariel Sharon would like to do the honors for Yasser Arafat. Most other leaders in the Middle East would like to kick the chair out from under Bush and Sharon. A man recently told me, "Let 'em all dangle!"
I would like to take this opportunity to explain to my fellow students what Student Special Events is and clear up some misconceptions. SSE is an executive agency of ASUNM. We organize events for the entire campus without political, religious or departmental affiliation. Our goal is to bring diverse speakers, cultural events, different types of music and co-sponsor events with student organizations.
I am an Israeli student here at UNM, and I am disturbed by the one-sided perspective and lack of knowledge of the basic facts that some writers - Ms. Lori Rudolph, for example - express regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If the uproar over ASUNM's $300,000 budget bankrolled by student fees isn't enough to convince students to get out and vote, they should consider the following.
I am writing in regard to a grave affliction that has pervaded this campus for quite some time now and has overstayed its welcome. Figuratively speaking, it is a cancer of sorts, one that delves deep into the essential core of this University and renders the indifference of the student body uncontrollable, proliferative and otherwise rampant.
I want to take the opportunity to thank Dathan Weems and his organizing staff for the Spring Storm event held Saturday. Even though the event was a first for UNM, it appeared to go very smoothly. I believe it to be a worthwhile event that I hope will continue in upcoming years
It is once again time for elections to take place at UNM. I hope that every student on campus realizes the importance of the elections and takes time out of their day to vote.
On Monday, we were reading the Daily Lobo Opinion page when we came upon the editorial written by Iliana Lim¢n addressing Amendment One. We were dismayed about what was written concerning ASUNM Senate not representing the majority of UNM students.
I am writing this letter in regards to Amendment One, in which our ASUNM student body government is hoping to add a small change to the funding system. While thinking about this change and the minor effects this will have on students, it occurred to me that the majority of students don't understand what the amendment is, much less the possibilities that this change can provide if approved.
It's the time of the year when chalk acronyms blight the sidewalks of UNM urging passing students to vote for some anonymous group of Senate candidates over another equally poorly known slate. Most of the chalking reduces down to a battle of which slate has the wittier initials - the SENERGY group has the edge in my opinion - whatever they stand for, and offers precious little information about any sort of agenda or position. I would conjecture that the single issue the majority of students know about the various slates is their position on whether to distribute candy when they harass people on Election Day.
While watching the proceedings of Hershe Krammer's trial last Friday, I just kept thinking, "Alexander Berkman."
I was walking around campus this week, and I ran into a member of the Senergy slate. It's refreshing to see a group taking action on their promises rather than simply empty promises.
I have read several letters in the Daily Lobo about Professor Cyrino's unique teaching style and manner of dress, and I have one question.
